Then and Now

History is often told through pharaohs, queens and merchant bankers, but just as often shaped by slaves, nursemaids and child miners. This illustrated family reference traces that fuller story, from early humans who hunted and controlled fire, through generations of explorers venturing into the unknown, to the astronauts who eventually left the planet altogether. Annotated 3D reconstructions and cutaway models offer a closer look behind the scenes, into the daily lives of communities long gone, bringing centuries of events vividly back to life.
